Struck or circled around the rim with a mallet, it produces a sustained tone with layered overtones that slowly fades. The Flower of Life is a pattern of overlapping circles found carved on the Temple of Osiris at Abydos and drawn by Leonardo da Vinci; it is a symbol of the interconnection of all life. From the maker: This 14cm hand-beaten singing bowl is engraved with the Flower of Life, one of the oldest and most revered geometric patterns, found in temples and sacred sites across many cultures. It is traditionally seen as a symbol of the interconnectedness of all life. Size: approximately 14cm. Allow for small variations between batches. ## Traditions (belief, not health claims) Engraved designs such as mandalas, the Om symbol or the Buddha are decorative and devotional; they reflect the traditions the bowls come from. Singing bowls are associated with the Himalayan region. Bowls made there have customarily been hand-hammered or cast from metal alloys, and many carry engraved mantras or symbols. Traditional meanings are offered for interest and reflection, not as a health claim. ## How to use - Tap the outside wall gently with the mallet to wake the bowl. - Circle the rim slowly with even pressure; once it starts to sing, keep the speed steady. - For a softer sound, strike rather than rub, and let each tone fade fully. - Place the bowl on a cushion or your flat, open palm. - Display idea: between sessions, a bowl on its cushion makes a striking shelf or altar piece. - Session idea: strike once at the start of a meditation and let the tone fade completely before you begin. - Yoga idea: teachers often sound a bowl or bells to open savasana or to mark the close of class. ## Care - Wipe with a fine, dry cloth after use; skin oils can mark the metal. ## Policies - Delivery: UK delivery £3.95, free over £40, 2–5 working days.
